Not sure why it would be the store’s fault. It most likely happened at the factory. Why don’t they just throw it away and move on? If it were at a restaurant that is preparing food, I can see why you would report it. But, the store has no control over a sealed vegetable bag that came into it’s stores.

I don’t think they really bag the store brand stuff, I think some other company does that for them. The frog being in there really isn’t anybody’s fault (probably) as the frog was probably with the veggies at harvest and then at the freezing process.

Good news: probably organic stuff since frogs would be the first to go with too much peticides and what not.

Because the store can then notify the manufacturer with specific information like lot number and shipment date. Also, the store knows better than the customers which factory it probably came from so it can talk to the heads of that factory.

Also, you bought a bag of frozen vegetables – you have to now throw it away, so why not go to the store and get a replacement or a refund? Money isn’t free.

It’s not the stores fault, but I would take it back so the store can notify its frozen vegetable supplier of the incident. Hopefully, it was a one off thing, but it would be nice if someone actually checked to make sure that there wasn’t an infestation of froggies somewhere in the vegetable plant (pun intended).

Only a couple of species can do this, they form a sort of anti-freeze in their blood. It protects them from freezing solid. All other species (including the one in the picture) do in fact die when you freeze them due to tissue damage.

Initially I was going to say what was the big deal, while it may be gross, at least they know that the veggies are real because they include something that was naturally occurring in a vegetable garden, then I noticed that all of the veggies were cut up into small pieces which means either this frog/toad was dodging the processing knives with moves you only see in cartoons, or Mr. Frog was introduced after all processing hopping around on the freezer conveyor.

Considering our food is grown outside, I’m actually surprised that this sort of stuff doesn’t happen more often. Then again, since the frog is whole and the veggies are cut up, I’m guessing the frog got into the food at the processing plant and not the fields.

The plant is probably be one of those where veggies come in from the fields and go out ready to sell (versus those where various operations are done at separate facilities). Frog came in from the farm, hopped around the building, and landed on the wrong conveyor.

If he’d entered the process-stream earlier, he’d have been chopped up, and the people would have only thought they’d bitten into an extra-crunchy carrot.

Is this a rerun of other stories? The frog likely got picked up by a machine during harvest, and caught up in the machinery… Nothing to freek out about (well, unless it’s one of those special frogs that people lick), toss the frog and start cooking…

Now if it’s a rat, or something screwy like that – then we got a story…. But the frog is green, the veggies are green, and it slipped right past the detectors…

Hmmm, anyone else think the pose the frog has makes it a little suspect? (head is up, with the mouth open) It looks like it was sitting on a flat surface when it was froze. That could very well be the way frogs freeze and I don’t know how the vegetables are frozen, but it just looks odd to me.

Man #1 goes into a cafe on a cold night and orders a clam chowder… the waiter at the bar tells him that he just sold the last one to Man #2 next to him. Man looks over, sees the full bowl of soup and asks Man #2 to sell him his soup for $20. Man #2 agrees and hands over the soup and man #1 starts scarfing it down… as he’s about 1/2 way done he notices something in the bowl and uses his spoon to pick up a dead rat crawling with maggots… seeing this man #1 instantly vomits the soup back into the bowl and turns to Man #2 and says “what the hell buddy?!” Man #2 looks at Man #1 and says “yeah…. that’s about as far as I got.”
